boehner said we want regular order said speaker boehner and leader mcconnell. the house passed its budget bill . republicans started saying like, no budget, no pay to the senate. but the senate planned to and did passed its budget bill. that would be the regular order. now we go to the table to reconcile our differences. the minute the senate passed its bill, the republicans abandoned any interest in the regular order. why? maybe they were afraid that people would see the contrast of what they wanted to do in their budget compared to the investment in the future, the statement of our national values that our democratic proposal had under chairwoman patty murray in the senate and chris van hollen in the house. whatever the reason, for six months, they have not wanted to negotiate. and for six months they are saying, the president doesn't want to negotiate. but they are the ones who had the responsibility under the regular order of the house to come to the budget table to reconcile our differences. i salute the president for saying that the full faith and credit

speaker boehner should do the right thing and allow an up-or-down vote on the bill. the problem is that these votes shouldn't be necessary. if, in fact we were going to open the government and not keep it shut for weeks on end, you wouldn't be doing this. this would all be moot. the reason you're doing this is to have some excuse to continue the shutdown. that's the problem with these votes. and the other problem is that you voted to shut down the national parks. you did it last week. you voted to shut down the national institutes of health. you did it last weekend. you voted to shut down the veterans administration and now you want to reopen just them. we voted against shutting down those agencies. we voted against shutting down the government. give us a clean vote. let's stop this nonsense. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. members are reminded to address all remarks to the chair. the gentleman from idaho. mr. simpson: how much time do i have remaining the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. simpson: we are
